THX Surround EX Auto Mode
Surround EX-encoded movies may have a special data flag which will
activate the AVR-4800 and set it automatically to THX Home Cinema mode
with THX Surround EX decoding. Or, you can activate the THX Surround
EX function manually, for program sources which do not have the special
data flag.
■
Assignable Power Amplifier Configuration
The AVR-4800 provides 7.1 channel pre-amp outputs, to allow connection
of external power amplifier(s), powered loudspeakers, and amplified sub-
woofer. To take full advantage of THX Surround EX, connect a mono or stereo
amplifier to the surround back pre-amp outputs to drive the surround back
loudspeaker(s). Or, use the AVR-4800 assignable power amp configuration to
utilize the internal front left/right power amplifiers to drive the surround back
speakers, and then connect an external stereo power amplifier, such as the
Denon POA-5200, to the main left and right speakers. The AVR-4800 provides
great system configuration flexibility.
